do you pronounce the name LEE-roy or Luh-ROY?
Depends on if the "r" is capitalized, Leroy or LeRoy.
At least, that's how I go.
(Leroy=LEE-roy, LeRoy=Luh-ROY)
I default to LEE-roy.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I knew a "Pebble" in college.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Did she have a brother named "Bam"?

LEE-roy.
Guys who said, "Yeah, I was just talkin' to Skeeter last week," had known him since high school,
My dad is Skip to his family, so you can always tell if it's one of them calling.

I think Rob Morrow's wife also has a pun name -- Debbon Ayer or something like that -- so it's a family thing. But still, Deb or Debbie are at least passable nicknames, whereas there's really nowhere to go from Tu.
I went to elementary school with a female Mikel, and I don't remember her being teased about her name. But she was rich, pretty and athletic; I'm not sure how kids would have reacted to it if she'd been poor, homely and a klutz.
And welcome to the world to Isaac, with congrats to Burrell, Mr. Burrell and Franny.

So did I, but she was MIH-kel, not pronounced like Michael.

Katie, I was waiting for someone to say it! But nobody did! What's wrong with these people?
Loved that Rob & Amber got knocked back to third place by Rob's big fat mouth. 'Cause that's just funny. Want Joyce & Uchenna to WIN!
I've knew a few girls named Michael growing up. Most of them went by Micky. Didn't seem to cause them any problems. (Or at least, no more than my apparently unspellable last name did. It was always much more a problem for the teachers to deal with than the students.)

Went to highschool with:
Pride Ayn Joy LastName
and
Melody Musik.
My only rule for future childrens' names (of which I will most likely never use) is that they need to be good hollerin names. Good hollerin names in my family include:
David Wayne, Ellen Kaye, Cade McCoy, Mark Allen, Rebecca Lynn
Bad hollerin names:
Taylor Nicole, Mason Wyatt, Jennifer ELizabeth, Joe Bole, Douglas Murray

Expedite! Was he overdue, or something?
Uh, don't know. It's Newfoundland, anything is possible.
I remember my dad once telling a story about his hometown to a old friend that started out. "Remember Flippy Saunders? The old one, not the young one." I couldn't stop laughing long enough to ask if Flippy was a family name or if they just nicknamed all the Saunders men Flippy.
